Upcoming film Talvar has been creating buzz ever since its trailer was released a month ago. While its song 'Insaaf' is climbing the charts for its melancholic tunes, its plot has triggered the memories of the audience, enough to pull them to theaters. But if you've been living under a rock, and are unaware about what the film is about, take a look at why you need watch Talvar. 

1. The Aarushi Talwar Case

The Star

The 2008 Noida double murder case is ready to invade the minds of people again. Talvar, many believe, will be a great insight into the different facets of the case, still hidden from the common man's eye.

2. Meghna Gulzar and Vishal Bharadwaj collaborate

The two masters team up for the first time for this crime thriller, with a plot that intrigued both of them, equally. Director Meghna says that instead of taking sides, the focus will be on how the initial police proceedings botched up the evidence. Truth be told, the film already sounds quite thrilling.

3. The riveting trailer

The initial look of the film has raised the expectations of the audience. It goes beyond the apartment where the twin murders took place to encapsulate a whole lot more. The canvas of the case is set to expand in this film.

4. The unseen side of the story

A fictional account gives you the liberty to see what went on inside police stations and courtrooms during the investigation. Apart from what surfaced in the media, there is a side that the nation hasn't seen. And in Talvar, fact meets fiction.

5. Roshomon effect

The term stands for an effect created by contradictory interpretations of the same event by different people. Quite like the 1950 Japanese film Rashomon, Talvar also showcases three different viewpoints about the case, making it even more interesting.

6. Irrfan Khan

Irrfan Khan-Talvar

He is one man who can be reason enough to watch a film. Irrfan, who plays an investigating officer, shows a perfect mix of swagger and subtlety. His dialogue delivery is brilliant, as are his expression of emotion, and the actor is impeccable in every frame. If you've loved him all through, you've got more reason to continue.

7. A stellar team

At this point, one also cannot afford to miss performers like Konkana Sen Sharma and Neeraj Kabi. While both stand for exuberant acting and strong narratives, the entire cast gave a nod to the film due to the intelligent prowess of Meghna. 

8. Resemblance to reality

Talvar

The film has also been smartly cast. And by smart, we don't just mean good performers. Talvar boasts of actors who bear striking resemblance to the real-life Talwar couple. A special mention for costume designer Abhilasha Sharma, whose work adds to the authenticity of the film.

9. Vishal Bharadwaj's research

Huffpost

The ace filmmaker did extensive research and and in-depth study of the case, before penning the script. The sheer fact that he is producing the film shows that he believed in the story and aims at reaching out to a larger audience. Do we need more reasons?

10. Different from Rahasya

Rahasya

Another film based on the Aarushi murder case, and starring Kay Kay Menon, Ashish Vidhyarthi and Tisca Chopra, came out earlier this year. But it was a work of complete fiction, with just core elements remaining the same. And what with the director spinning his own angle, pushing in some items songs and solving the case in the end, the film was up to no good. Talvar, we hope does justice.

11. Tabu

Tabu-Talvar

Bollydhamaal

The brilliant actress reportedly has a significant role in Talvar, but has surprisingly remained absent from all the promos. We believe it is a ploy on part of the producers, to keep her character under wraps. Considering how stunning she has been in her last two films Drishyam and Haider, we expect Tabu to surprise the audience yet again.

Talvar

Indian Express

Talvar follows the same pattern of films like Zodiac and Memories of Murder, where the focus remained more on the investigation and the people involved, and less in solving the case. So while the film doesn't give answers, it is closer to the case, that still awaits closure, in soul.
